Question: Upper S equals 2 0 plus 2 0 Upper PS = 2 0 + 2 0 P and Upper D equals 1 0 0 minus

Upper S equals 20 plus 20 Upper PS=20+20P
and
Upper D equals 100 minus 20 Upper PD=10020P
areHome's supply and demand curves for wheat.
Upper S Superscript star Baseline equals 40 plus 20 Upper PS*=40+20P
and
Upper D Superscript star Baseline equals 80 minus 20 Upper PD*=8020P
areForeign's supply and demand curves for wheat.
